  • Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021
    Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021 C2015-16 September 22 2015 March 2018 Dear Friends, Since Grand River Transit (GRT) was established in January 2000, multi-year business plans have guided Council in making significant operating and capital investments in public transit, taking us from a ridership of 9.4 million in 2000 to 19.7 million in 2017. The GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) will guide the planned improvements to the Regional transit network and service levels over the next five years to achieve the Regional Transportation Master Plan ridership target of 28 million annual riders by 2021. Increasing the share of travel by transit supports the Regional goals of managing growth sustainably, improving air quality, and contributing to a thriving and liveable community. Over the next five years, GRT will experience a quantum leap as a competitive travel option for many residents of Waterloo Region. This is the result of significant improvements to the service including the start of LRT service, completion of the iXpress network, continued improvement to service levels with a focus on more frequent service, the introduction of new and enhanced passenger facilities, and the implementation of the EasyGO fare card system. The proposed transit network and annual service improvement plans will be refined annually based on public feedback and changing land use and travel patterns. The implementation of annual service improvements would then be subject to annual budget deliberations and Regional Council approvals. The new GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) builds on the successes of the previous business plans and on GRT’s solid organizational and infrastructure foundation.

  • The Cultural Turn in Municipal Planning
    The Cultural Turn in Municipal Planning by Jason F. Kovacs A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Jason F. Kovacs 2009 Author’s declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Jason F. Kovacs ii Abstract Urban theorists and policy makers have begun to re-evaluate the importance of culture in urban development models. Culture is now widely viewed as a critical factor in the economic and social health of cities. Notions of creativity and the growing recognition of the role that culture-rich environments can play in attracting the “creative class,” are being partly expressed in the widespread adoption of urban cultural planning strategies. Cultural planning is commonly defined as the identification (mapping) and leveraging of cultural assets to support local community and economic development. It is also often explained as a “cultural approach” to municipal planning, an approach that entails effective cross-departmental and cross-sectoral collaboration in the implementation of strategic goals outlined within the cultural plan. A literature has been written on the potential of cultural planning by leading experts in the cultural policy field, especially from Australia and Britain. However, there has been a noticeable lack of critical research on this cultural development approach by scholars in Canada, where cultural planning is a relatively new and emerging municipal activity.
